Sounds and Stories Live

For the composition, the artist recorded soundscapes from local parks and forests which were post-produced to become 'instruments' of the live performance. In collaboration with singer Ilona Korhonen, a selection of Finnish runo songs was rehearsed. On stage, a ‘knitting orchestra’ of ladies from the community centre generated the score to the songs by knitting colourful fabrics with their prepared needles, each knitter activating a specific sound pattern.

The project was m-cult's special commission for the opening ceremony of the Maunula House on 4.2.2017.
